  Fascinating rosé. Lean and racy and delicious. Will buy again.

  Very pale pink. Quite lean and brisk on the palate, lots of acid and minerality.

  This rose shows a serious side. Complex flavors of strawberry, lemon/lime, cranberry, and a touch of leafy greenness mounted in a crisp frame of acidity. Exceptionally persistent finish.

  This is another wine that happens to be of pink color, but totally defies the category of rose. It is not a mindless summer drinking rose, this is a rather serious (if not quite Domaine Tempier). Overall fresh and balanced, but rather reserved and with a very pronounced steely acidity. This is a light food wine and it really shines with food. Good, but very likely better with more time.

  Another bottle a few weeks after going through a case--see below. This was much less expressive and rather muted, though all correct. I think these probably need time (a couple of months) in the bottle to settle and show.
